Abstract

A system and method include determining a recipient of an offer; and determining an offer which includes an activity and a benefit. The system and method further include transmitting, to a representative, instructions to provide the offer to the recipient. The system and method further include determining whether the recipient has performed the activity, and if so providing the benefit to the recipient.

The invention is claimed as follows: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a processor;   a display;   an input device; and   a memory that stores a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the display and the input device to:   (a) receive a request for a location of a player of a gaming device;   (b) determine the location of said player; and   (c) display location information representing the determined location of said player.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the displayed location information includes at east one of a map and directions to the determined location of said player. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the determined location of said player is displayed as a graphical element. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3  wherein the graphical element includes at least one of an icon and an image of said player. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display an offer to be provided to said player. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine the location of said player based at least in part on data received from a central controller. 
     
     
         7 . A method operating a device, said method comprising:
 (a) causing a processor to execute a plurality of instructions to operate with an input device to receive a request for a location of a player of a gaming device;   (b) causing the processor to execute the plurality of instructions to determine the location of said player; and   (c) causing the processor to execute the plurality of instructions to operate with a display to display location information representing the determined location of said player.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the displayed location information includes at least one of a map and directions to the determined location of said player. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the determined location of said player is displayed as a graphical element. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the graphical element includes at one of an icon and an image of said player. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , which includes causing the processor to execute the plurality of instructions to operate with the display to display an offer to be provided to said player. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , which includes causing the processor to execute the plurality of instructions to determine the location of said player based at least in part on data received from a central controller. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the data is received through a data network. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the data network is an internet. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 (a) receive a request for a location of a player of a gaming device;   (b) determine the location of said player; and   (c) cause a display to display location information representing the determined location of said player.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the displayed location information includes at least one of a map and directions to the determined location of said player. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the determined location of said player is displayed as a graphical element. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 17  wherein the graphical element includes at least one of an icon and an image of said player. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause the display to display an offer to be provided to said player. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine the location of said player based at least in part on data received from a central controller.
